# voting-power

Source: https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/developers/api-integration/token-features/voting-power
API reference for the DALP voting-power token feature, which exposes delegation and snapshot-based governance weights paired with historical-balances.



The `voting-power` token feature exposes delegation and snapshot-based voting weights. It attaches without operator input on equity, fund, and real-estate templates and composes with `historical-balances` for snapshot reads.

For the operator how-to, see [Voting power how-to](/docs/operators/token-features/voting-power). For the architecture model, see [Voting power architecture](/docs/architects/components/token-features/voting-power).

## Configuration [#configuration]

No `featureConfigs` entry required. The feature is self-contained.

## Reading voting weights [#reading-voting-weights]

| Endpoint                                                      | Returns                                                             |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GET /api/v2/token/{address}/voting-power/{holder}`           | Current voting weight for a holder, including any delegated weight. |
| `GET /api/v2/token/{address}/voting-power/{holder}?block={n}` | Voting weight at a snapshot block.                                  |
| `GET /api/v2/token/{address}/voting-power/snapshot?block={n}` | Snapshot weights for every holder at a block.                       |

## Delegation [#delegation]

```
POST /api/v2/token/{address}/voting-power/delegate
{
  "to": "0x..."
}
```

Delegations are per-holder per-token. A new delegation overrides the previous one. Use the holder's authenticated wallet for the request.
